In 2007 he was designated "Outstanding Research Professor" of the College of Natural Resources and the Environment. He has published over 150 research papers including a number of book chapters in the areas of biotechnology, fermentation technology, immunological assays, and methods of molecular detection of food born pathogensand is the sole author of three recently published books. His areas of research interest include: molecular biology of low temp. bacteriophage infections of fish spoilage bacteria, metabolism and taxonomy of fish spoilage bacteria, bacterial production of gums, bacterial rennet production, detection of mutagens and carcinogens in foods, mechanisms of chemical modulation of DNA repair, fish protein hydrolysates, industrial fermentations, toxicology, toxic marine algae, detection of human infectious bacteria in foods by immunological and real-time PCR methodology. During the past four years he has published three sole authored books: The Use of Molecular Methods for Detecting and Discriminating Food Borne Infectious Bacteria. 548 pp.; The Plague: History, Clinical Aspects, Immunology, Molecular Biology, and PCR detection of鼠疫杆菌即致病有機體。227頁;和炭疽:曆史，生物學，全球分布，臨床方麵，免疫學和分子生物學。頁。
